Music doesn't have square waves? Well, music produced by
*acoustic* instruments doesn't have square waves, but try
throwing the output of a Moog (*) on a 'scope sometime!
Yep, it can easily produce square waves.
Yes, it gets band-limited by the speaker (if not the amp),
but it's still *supposed* to be a square wave.
So there!
Threats: anyone claiming that Moogs cannot produce music will
be forced to listen to a cut or two from a Keith Emerson/Nice
album I have where he creates some sort of "tuned" distortion/noise
and creates "music" out of it. Very different. Very interesting.
Surprisingly listenable.
Disclaimers: note that I haven't said anything for or against
CDs.
(*) Moog is probably a trademark or some-such.

If you like systhetic music you aught to try the 'Fresh Aire' series from American Grammaphone. Synthesizer is named 'Manaheim Steamroller' (spelling is definately not correct here)[or any place else for that matter]

The Manheim Steamroller FRESH AIRe Albums are not entirely sythesized. They use sythesizers in conjuction with drums, piano, harpsichord, and recorders (blockflutes, not magnetic). -Ron
